The manual Eli is referring to is virtual, not paper:

 From within Emacs type Control-h r
m
printing

and then again from the top
m
Windows Printing

If this functionality is missing then someone went to the trouble to 
remove it, which probably means that they don't want anyone there to 
learn Emacs. In any case unless you are a postscript expert you'll 
either have to install ghostscript or use Lennart's suggestion, to wit

Add this line to your .emacs:
(require 'hfyview)

Add the files hfyview.el and htmlfontify.el to /emacs/lisp directory or 
another directory in load-path.
Easymenu.el should already be in /emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp directory.
